The comparative figures are for audiences across all platforms, not listeners, though the paragraph seems badly constructed:

"However, despite this loss, BBC World Service remains the world’s most
popular international radio broadcaster. The largest overseas audiences
for BBC news, across all platforms, are in Nigeria (26.0m), USA (24.1m)
and India (22.2m)."

What are they counting as "audience", BBC World News Television for example is a pay channel in India according to Wikipedia.
